The Clinton campaign is promising to make Hillary’s thirty-five years of experience in Washington the hallmark of the final Democratic primary contests. That being the case we thought it would be helpful to Clinton supporters, Obama supporters, Independents and fence sitters alike to examine said experience as thoroughly as possible.
After taking a closer look at Senator Clinton’s efforts to date on the most recent brouhaha over her experience with the drafting and successful signing of NAFTA during her co-presidency with Bill Clinton, could successfully argue that the poorly drafted agreement left the American worked holding an empty bag. Barack Obama states he has always said that NAFTA was detrimental to America, as it gave off shore workers an unfair competitive advantage.
Although NAFTA did benefit American corporations when they began moving call centers, manufacturing, industrial and textile workers jobs off shore, the end result was displaced American labor with little training and or alternatives to fall back on. Since NAFTA gave away every thing but the kitchen sink to our competitors the American consumer, who is also the American worker is having difficulty affording the products they themselves used to make even at the low cost the Chinese sells them at.
Hillary Clinton’s response is, that she has a solution to fix the problems NAFTA has created for the American worker. And we think that is great considering she and Bill Clinton had a major hand in promoting NAFTA in the first place.
When we consider her past experience with healthcare, we find more trouble finding a successful outcome as she clearly failed to get much done in the way of providing universal healthcare for all Americans. She was resoundingly rejected during the co-presidency of Bill and Hillary as well as failing to get much traction on the concept in her new home state of New York. In fact, many New Yorkers feel the self described tough and strong Senator let senior Senator Chuck Schumer do most of the heavy lifting while Hillary did the coffee clutch and tea party fund raising for her pre-planned returned to the White House at the expense of
If one wants to revisit her vote on the most important issue of the 21st century; the Iraq war authorization, again we get another mistake, whether she is woman enough to admit it our not. Thus far, if these so called years and years and years and years of experience could be summed up as an audition for the job of Commander in Chief, then we think she could use more time to intern. It is our opinion; Hillary Clinton has already proven that she is the one not ready for prime time.
All things being considered, we would select the younger, smarter, thinking, mistake free (to date) candidate, over the older, experienced in trial by error, candidate. Click here to download podcast
